Wedding Party

Rachel Mortenson

Maid of Honor

Beccas one and only sister. The number two person I couldn't imagine this day without (sorry, Matt is kind of important for this). She's my biggest cheerleader and believes in me when I don't believe in myself. There was never any question as to who would be my Maid of Honor.

Ryan Rogneby

Best Man

The Man, The Myth, The Legend. Mr. Rogneby has been friends with the Groom since the days of little league baseball. Back then the Groom was the only catcher willing and able to handle Ryan's special "eyes closed" pitching style. Over the years Ryan has become one of the the most stable and accessible people we have ever known. Frequently he would be the person to organize all of the friendly gatherings. The amount of group texts and frequency of updates eventually lead to his title of "Spam Mail" that still persists in the Groom's phone 12 years later. We both thank Ryan for all his support over the years and hope we continue to grow with him in the future.

Stacey VanCamp

Bridesmaid

Beccas cousin. My partner in crime for all but 13 days of our lives. We grew up in the same town, were in the same grade and spent many of our biggest life moments together. It only made sense that this was another life event I couldn't imagine without her by my side.

Chad Ott

Groomsman

The Man, the Myth, the dude wearing a kilt. Chad is the younger brother of Matt and middle sibling in the Ott household. Being only 2 years in age between the three of them, the three brothers grew up very close. Chad would be known as the most quirky out of the three. Often Chad is seen throwing axes, or juggling knifes, or displaying any number of odd skills and talents. He has definitely taught us how to shake things up in life. We appreciate Chad's support in this wedding and hope to grow with him through the years

Trista Hazer

Bridesmaid

Beccas friend. The first person outside of my family that I felt that I could be myself around. I could be weird and crazy and she would love me. We've traveled the world together. We went to the same college. She was a huge reason behind me coming out of my shell and becoming the person I am today. Founding member of the Crazy Cat Lady Cult.

Travis Ott

Groomsman

The Man, The Myth, The Tae-kwon-do Master. Travis is the youngest of the three Ott brothers. Being so close in age the brothers became very close. Travis is the most imaginative out of the three, often being the one who came up with new games to play or new ways to play old games. Commonly and lovingly referred to as "Pickles". The nickname arose during a gathering with friends several years ago. There happened to be two people named Travis at same gathering, so to save on confusion one was labeled Pickles and the name stuck. We appreciate Travis's support during this time and over the years. We hope to continue to grow with him over the years.

Nicole Rust

Bridesmaid

Beccas friend I never would have guessed that a friend I made at bible camp in 3rd grade would become one of my best friends and favorite people for my whole life. We met for the first time at Park River Bible camp the summer after (I think) 3rd grade. We spent 3 days together in the same cabin (Bethel, the first summer it was open). We lost touch, (because 3rd graders) until high school when we were reunited through PRBC. She is a voice of reason in my life and an easy choice as a bridesmaid.

Justin Ries

Groomsman

The Man, The Myth, The Pyro. Mr. Ries has known the groom since the middle school years. Although not the primary focus of most of gatherings, education has been involved in many aspects that strengthened Justin's and the Groom's friendship. Both met in middle school, were involved heavily in Robotics Club in high school, and both ended up attending college at NDSU together. Some of the latter "educational experiences" are a little fuzzy but were fun none the less. We hope to keep learning alongside Justin now and in the future. We appreciate his help with the wedding.

Abby Papenfuss

Bridesmaid

Beccas friend I've known Abby since volleyball in 7th grade. I don't remember how we created our friendship, but it's survived many years. She was a mentor in college (for a semester until I figured out what I was doing). I can't count the number of laughs we've shared throughout our friendship. From cleaning her first apartment (how did we ever think that place was safe?) to boy band concerts. Any time we see each other it's like we were never apart. Founding member of the Crazy Cat Lady Cult.

Jacob Simon

Groomsman

The Man, The Myth, The likely reason the bride/groom are hungover. Mr. Simon met the groom during high school and continued their friendship through to college at NDSU. Jacob would be one of the Bride and Grooms go to people when organizing a night out. Their friendship grew stronger and brighter with every passing year. We appreciate Jacob's love and support and look forward to growing with him through the years.

Noah Rust

Ring Bearer

Matt and Beccas Godson Noah is a bright light in our lives. He's a happy little guy who (for only seeing us a couple times a year) shows no fear of us. He seems to find Matt hilarious.
